Rumors of layoffs at NCsoft Austin are "not accurate," NCsoft reps told Edge on Monday.

Entertainment website Giant Realm cited anonymous sources who told the website that a "vast majority" of NCsoft Austin's staff would be laid off, with 20-30 being given the axe initially, and 150 total are "on the chopping block."

One NCsoft rep called the report "just crazy" in an e-mail to Edge.

Another stated, "Those are rumors right now and I/we aren’t going to comment on something like that. That is pretty outrageous."

NCsoft released Richard Garriott's Tabula Rasa (pictured) in October last year.

Giant Realm's piece originally claimed that Austin MMO house Vigil Games (a subsidiary of THQ) would also be laying off a significant amount of employees. However, after Vigil employees debunked that part of the report in the comments section, the website pulled any mention of that studio.

An "annoyed" Vigil employee told Edge over the phone that the report is wholly inaccurate. GM David Adams added that the rumors are "patently untrue."

THQ's website currently shows 10 job postings for Vigil Games, including Sr. Gameplay Programmer, Sr. Visual FX Artist and Sr. Level Designer.
